HOLLAND -- Anne Bradley, a Hope College senior
from Shaker Heights, Ohio, has received a new graduate
scholarship from the Atlanta Falcons Youth Foundation.

Bradley has received one of the first "Jerry Rhea
Graduate Athletic Training Scholarships." The $5,000 awards
are given to help defray the cost of higher education for
students who are studying sports medicine, and only four
were presented: two for graduate work, and two for
undergraduate studies. The award is named in honor of Jerry
Rhea, who was head athletic trainer of the Atlanta Falcons
Football Club for 25 years.

An athletic training major at Hope, Bradley is
still finalizing her graduate school plans but intends to
pursue a master's in athletic training and is seeking an
assistantship that will allow her to work with an athletic
team or in a sports medicine clinic.

"After graduate school I would like to be an
athletic trainer for a university and work with a wide range
of athletes," she said. "I really like the college setting
because of how rewarding it is to aid injured athletes by
motivating them and helping them progress back to full
functional status."

Bradley is the daughter of Tom and Betsy Bradley
of Shaker Heights. She is a 1998 graduate of Shaker Heights
High School.
